RE: MobiTV lineup for Treos
Can it play in HVGA? Pretty cool, but the 240x320 is tiny on a Treo.
I could use the WiFi Card on my T3, with the addition of a 550CCA Sears Die Hard battery! :-)

Pat, just go on www.mobitv.com and download the trial version for wi-fi Palms. It only mentions the LD & the TX so maybe the T3 and T5 are not supported...but I think it'll work. I do know that the LifeDrive requires the 2.0 update in order to use MobiTV.

RE: MobiTV lineup for Treos
Let me put it this way--if I wanted anything TV-related past the few channels Sprint gives you for free with their basic Power Vision ($15), I'd just pay MobiTV directly instead of paying for the overpriced PowerVision plans.
One thing I find absolute mind-boggling about MobiTV is that you have one set of channel offerings for SprinTV customers, another set for Palm wi-fi devices (TX, LD) and then another for Treos that subscribe directly. And that's without going into what they offer for dumbphone customers and/or specific offerings for various carriers!
I'd like to see a two-tier pricing level where the more costly offerings gives a Treo user EVERYTHING MobiTV is currently broadcasting. Why can someone with a TX and a wi-fi hotspot watch Fox News and I am just stuck with Fox Sports on my 700p? That's assuming I care to watch Fox News in the first place...

MobiTV lineup for Treos
Well, this answers my question about what the unknown horror film was. They just loop 4 public domain B&W horror flicks on the channel. Good stuff, mind you, but these are just the titles you can buy for $3 on DVD at Wal-Mart.
Still a good app. Also, in case anyone was wondering, I could not have my MobiTV account active on both my TX (wi-fi edition of MobiTV) and on my Treo 700p. You have to register each device uniquely with MobiTV so you have to have a separate account for each device you own. Bummer but unsurprising.
Maybe a $15 or $20/month deluxe family subscription like XM & Sirius have for multiple device-owning families.
